1.Prenatal development...further includes...stages of Embryo.Zygote and Fetus.
2.Postnatal development including Biological development,Intellectual development,Emotional development,Cognitive development,Motor development and etc...
Maturation includes development of mental processes that affects body functioning as a whole.
FACTORS
